Same firms made a Mint on the Rowland Scandal...Perez is going Down Hard & Fast SOON, like Rowland and Gamin and Santopietro...DiBella ALWAYS slips away from the Feds. Be afraid Eddie! VERY AFRAID. Even Hubie Santos does not get everyone off. You are acting Just likke Rowland.

I figure Eddie will get off with a slap on the wrist and continue to cost the taxpayers in Hartford a fortune. then he can be like Destefano in New Haven and say he's needs a big raise because he didn't realize being mayor took so much time. Voters in these cities are stupid

Why would the city have to pay legal fees for this incompetent, crooked buffoon. Perez is ruining the retired employees health fund with his choice of incompetent directors, has the police understaffed, crime rampant and who knows what else. Let him pay for his own defense, he is the one in trouble. Maybe a good crap in his new bathroom would do him some good.

Hawthorn Street is not even from Connecticut. He just trolls the internet posting on every city's mayoral issues. I think he is paid by some hunge group of complainers who try to stir up traffic on forums to drive ad revenue. Ignore him.

I wonder which one of these posts, Perez, under his "regime" would have blocked due to his call for the Courant to control its boards?

Hmm...I hear a bell.must be a sign ..somewhere in Hartford- an individual will be hired for a position that he/she is not qualified for....cronyism and nepotism...

Can't wait until it reaches a mil....

This is all so racist and anti-lawyer. Mayor Eddie deserves our trust and we all know lawyers are the most ethical people in the land (look at the Milberg settlement on class action suits). It's only state money, who cares there is plenty more where that is. Only fools have "real jobs."

When the only people voting are the stupid ones, yes, voters are stupid. What was turnout last go around in Hartford? 30%? Less?

Why does it take so long to investigate these things? This guy will be long gone before the truth comes out...but that's always the story with politicians. They fleece others, line their pockets, and retire to Florida...

Ever since rat face PEREZ took office, he has been spending tax payers monies on himself, his employees, his family, friends. Perez is as corrupt and dirty as the old garbage dump off the highway. He got fatter, sits on every board and pretend as if he is really working... I say send his a$$ up the river, and slap him with the bill.

Perez the gang banger deserves nothing nor is he entitled to anything. People that think they are entitled are the ones that got this pos into office in the first place.
Entitlement is pretty sticky stuff when you deal with people that believe in hard work.
